Paradise

Liked:The hotel is really a small paradise, full of gardens,palm trees and so beautiful. Cleanliness is above a 5 star hotel!!! Most important though was the stuff with their genuine smile and kindness, always willing to help us ,entertain us,make us feel so special 💖. Special thanks to manager Ally that helped us in everything we asked for and treated us as a true friend (he is really now one). Also the food was excellent and fresh fish every day!!! We also loved Isaia and Kassiano at the beach bar,Viscard and all stuff at the main restaurant!!! If we come back we will certainly go there again. Thank you once more for making our stay unforgettable!!!💖

Disliked:The bed was too hard There was a big bathroom but no bath The shower head needs improvement -- hot water was a bit of a struggle as well. The towels were too hard The food with the exception of the fish was 2/10
